Kaplan 3/4 Bass String Set: Medium

The D'Addario Kaplan 3/4 Bass String Set is designed for discerning orchestral bassists who want a beautifully balanced set with refined response across the full register of the instrument. Built with a stranded steel core, these medium-tension double bass strings offer a rich tonal color palette, excellent clarity, and warmth from low to high.

Scaled to fit a 3/4 size bass with a 41 3/4 inch (1060 mm) playing length, this set is optimized for the majority of players using standard 3/4 instruments. Johnson String highlights the set's clarity and warmth across the range, while D'Addario emphasizes projection, focus, and a balanced feel suitable for solo and ensemble playing.
